Part B Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points) Though people on both sides regret for them, these annual summer disputes over Supreme Court nominees can be valuable exercises in civic education. (61) The Robert Borkathon of 1987 forced millions of Americans to think about the role of a constitution in a democracy: the proper way to interpret 200-year-old phrases, the conflict between majority rule and individual freedom, and so on. (62) This summer President Bush’s nomination of Clarence Thomas has unexpectedly plunged the nation even deeper into the pool of first principles. America finds itself debating natural law. An enthusiasm for something called “natural law” is one of the repeated themes in Thomas’ slim collection of writings and speeches. What he means by natural law and what uses he would put it to as a life-tenured Supreme Court Justice are not clear. (63) This justifiably alarms some people, who are worried that “natural law” could become an excuse for a conservative judge to impose his political agenda —— just as conservatives have accused liberal judges of using “privacy” to do the same thing. In fact, though, the two questions can be separated. Is there something called natural law? And is it a legitimate basis for judges to overrule the wishes of the majority as expressed in laws of a less noble sort? At this point in American history, the answer to the first question is beyond challenge. Yes. As far as the U.S. is concerned, natural law exists. The “Laws of Nature” are right there in the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence. (64) The second and most famous sentence provides a perfect definition of natural law: human beings are “endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights,” including “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Where do these rights come from? Some may have trouble with the concept of a divine creator. Others may find it excessively impractical to insist that every human being has these rights in a world where most people are evidently unfree to exercise them. (65) But few can doubt that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are what a civilized society ought to strive to provide its members. As the Declaration says, that is the reason “Governments are instituted.” It is “self-evident.” That’s good enough for me. Part IV Writing 66. Directions: A.
